I was very sad to hear the news. Christina was a bright part of my life for many years working together at Quantum...and a good neighbor while I was living in Fountain. She touched the lives of everyone that she met with her laugh. Her smile was an inspiration to me in many hard times. Even after losing touch these past few years I'm very sad to know that she's no longer with us. My heart goes out to her family...you are all in my prayers
